New Perimeter
Security Manager Puts You In Control
It’s
every security manager’s
wish to have a perimeter security
system that is perfectly integrated
and operates seamlessly. One
that allows all of your perimeter
security devices to be controlled
from a single source. Now, Southwest
Microwave has a solution that
puts you in control.
Southwest
Microwave’s new
Perimeter Security Manager is a
security monitoring and control
system that offers the ultimate
in integration capabilities.
This new real-time,
Windows-based system is perfect
for facilities that are seeking
to integrate and manage several
perimeter security devices at a
single location or multiple sites.
With Perimeter Security Manager,
you can monitor and control all
of your microwave sensors, fence-tied
intrusion detection systems, gates,
CCTV cameras, Digital Video Recorders
and even gates.
“We have
software interfaces to most of
the CCTV systems, DVRs and of course,
the Southwest Microwave INTREPID™ product family,” says
Bob Kirkaldie, Southwest Microwave’s
Director of Sales and Marketing. “Perimeter
Security Manager has the capability
of monitoring your entire perimeter
security system.”
Server Migrates. Data
Stays Put.
In addition
to being able to monitor multiple
sites, the Perimeter Security
Manager has a unique “migrating
server” architecture that
allows one or more workstations
to become a backup master PC in
the event that the master PC is
disabled.
“This
provides instantaneous backup just
in case the main server crashes
or loses power,” adds
Kirkaldie. “This high reliability
and redundancy is not available
with other security management
systems.”
Another
substantial benefit of Southwest
Microwave’s Perimeter
Security Manager is the intuitive
graphical user interface (GUI)
and high-resolution graphics. The
user-friendly display lets operators
view a detailed, 2D site rendering
with real-time active icons that
clearly indicate the status and
location of security system devices.
These icons are actually shaped
like the devices for quick visual
recognition.
 More Powerful Alarm Handling
“Using
the INTREPID system, Perimeter
Security Manager automatically
controls CCTV cameras to point
to the area of intrusion and provides
automatic alarm activity logging,” says
Kirkaldie. “The higher-level
software interface is a lot faster
and much more powerful than using
more traditional alarm relay contacts—particularly
with larger sites or multiple locations.”
The alarm logging
capabilities of Perimeter Security
Manager are quite impressive. Guesswork
is eliminated by the sophisticated
alarm handling system, which notifies
the operator of an incident precisely
when it occurs and provides pre-programmed
alarm handling instructions for
each type of alarm or action.
“When
an alarm occurs, a screen pops
up on the computer telling the
operator exactly what to do,” Kirkaldie
explains. “For
example, if an alarm is triggered,
it may prompt the operator to ‘call
the police’ or ‘close
gate number 3.’ This software
also has the capability of creating
an alarm event log for supervisors
and managers so they can review
exactly what happened and what
action was taken by the operator
after a particular event. This
allows managers to make sure that
correct procedures are being followed.”
Perimeter Security
Manager allows plug-and-play integration
of security devices, so modules
are immediately recognized with
no hardwiring required. The system
can be controlled by a keyboard
or optional touch-screen GUI.
